Removing Excess Stone & Dirt (Trucking Out)

Over the summer the construction crew had thousands of tons of stone of all different sizes trucked and dumped on the beach. Mixed in with the deliveries of small and medium stone which arrived by dump truck was dirt, sand, and stone dust. The process of moving the stones around caused stone chips to break off. All of this debris need to cleanup and hauled off. Dump truck after dump truck arrived to be filled up by an excavator with this debris. The debris was spreadout over the beach area. In the video, one excavator sits on top of jetty and picks up dirt and debris along the Merrimack River and swings it over the jetty to a dirt pile. At the dirt pile a second excavator grabs it and loads it into a dump truck. This process went on for a number of days. You will see clips of two different excavators working on the dirt pile in the video.

Moving the Rubber Mats

I am not exactly sure what the excavator was doing with the rubber mats. He was moving them around in this short video. I apologize the camera's autofocus malfunctioned a couple of times while filming this. I left those sections in because it shows the jetty in its finished condition.
